Troutman's job as clerk included being responsible for the accounting of fines and bond money collected by the court. She was fired three years ago after receipted cash from a June 2014 court date went missing from her office.

The state auditor's office then found more than $65,000 in court funds missing over a three-year period beginning in 2011.

The plea requires Troutman serve five years on probation and pay $40,000 in restitution to the Carl Junction Municipal Court.
